Ukash, an online payment provider, has signed global deal with epay, a division of Euronet Worldwide and a provider of payment services and technology, to distribute Ukash vouchers across the epay retailer network in Australasia and Europe.
As per the deal Ukash and its holding company Smart Voucher, get access to either direct-to-consumer or ‘white label’ solutions on every major continent in the world, to offer the opportunity to pay, play and shop online using cash for global internet users .
Ukash has said that consumers will be able to obtain its vouchers from existing epay merchants, which can then be used as a payment method online. This provides consumers with a secure payment system where they don’t need to reveal any financial information, enabling those without access to credit or debit cards or those with fears of online fraud, to enjoy online shopping.
The epay and Ukash deal will see Ukash launch its physical estate services for the first time in Australia and New Zealand and extend its European coverage in Italy, Poland, Germany and Spain.
Mark Chirnside, chief executive officer Ukash, said: “By partnering with epay we are able to reach a huge number of potential new customers and expand our global footprint to allow more customers to pay, play and shop online using cash.”
Gareth Gumbley, chief executive officer epay, said: “Utilising our worldwide cash collection network, we can deliver a value-added service to Ukash customers, further extending our payment service and technology offering.
